LOW-CARB TOASTED SARMIES

Makes 1 “sandwich”

Ingredients:

2 eggs

2 Tbl water

2 Tbl coconut flour

1 1/2 Tbl melted butter

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

Pinch of salt

Method:

– Mix the eggs and water till well combined.

– Next add the rest of the ingredients, and mix till well combined.

– Grease a microwave-proof dish with cooking spray, butter or a wipe of oil, whatever non-stick method you prefer.

– I like a dish roughly 20cm x 12cm and 3.5cm deep, as this gives you accurate life-like slices.

– Pour the batter into the dish and microwave on high for 2 minutes.

– Remove from the microwave and allow to cool so you can handle the dish.

– Flip the “bread” out onto a cooling rack and let cool till you can handle it. Then using a bread knife, carefully cut the slice in half length ways.

– Butter the “upside” part of the bread

– Heat a non-stick frying pan on the stove for a while to let it get nice and warm.

– Add your two slices into the pan and leave them to brown and cook slightly for 2 minutes each side roughly, while you prep your ingredients.

– Remove the slices from the pan and start assembling your fillings.

– Now you can go two routes here. If you want a quick one-pan wonder with one or two fillings, then add the assembled sarmie back into the pan and grill, flipping a few times, till the cheese has melted.

– But if you have time, or you’ve packed your sarmie to the rafters with ingredients, you’d be better off finishing it under the grill in the oven. This method also dries out the “bread” slightly, so that you have even more similarities to the real thing. But only do this if you have time. A preheated grill at 200C should do the trick, and cook until everything is oozy and melted.
